it's going to bring 100% renewable energy to my home and reinvest into renewable energy infrastructure and jobs. i had gone to a lot of street fairs and heard from the staff at the san francisco public utilities commission to sign up for clean power sf even before it launched. >> we learned about clean power sf because our sustainability team is always looking for clean operations. linkedin is the largest online network. there are about 530 million members using our site. in this san francisco office there's about 1400 employees working in roughly 400,000 square feet. >> after signing up for the program we heard about the san francisco program and learned

they had commercial rates and signed up for that. i'm the co-owner of the new wheel electric bike shop. we opened this store in 2012 and the new wheel sells and services electric bikes. 11 people work here in san francisco and our store is about 2,000 square feet. electric bikes are fantastic for transportation in the city, they're clean and green and you get places faster than any other form of transportation. it amplifies the power, it doesn't replace it. it makes it easier to get places by bicycle and it's so enjoyable and environmentally friendly way to go and more convenient in san francisco. >> clean power sf requires two products, green, 40% renewable and competitively priced with pg and e. for those who want to fight

climate change more, 100% renewable at $0.02 per kilawatt. >> i decided to go with the super greens, after finding it only to cost about $5 more a month to have super green, that's a no-brainer, i can do that. >> we were pleased that clean power sf offers the super green 100% for commercial entities like ours and residents for the city of san francisco. we were pleased with the package of services for linkedin and now encouraging our employees who have a residence in san francisco to sign on as well. >> clean power sf buys its power from renewable plants that feed the energy directly into the grid. >> there's a commitment to

sustainability throughout the entire organization and this clean power opportunity reflects that. >> one of the wind farms we use is the shilo wind farm and that is large enough to be able to provide energy for up to 200,000 homes. >> our mission is sustainability, even though our bikes are minimal energy use, it still matters where the energy comes from and part of our mission in sustainability is how we run everything -- run our business. having the lights come on with clean energy is very important. >> the sunset reservoir has solar panels that take up about four city blocks covering the reservoir and the solar power generates energy for city resources and clean power sf for residents participating in the program. >> it was easy to sign up for the program, i went online to

cleanpowersf.org and i started getting pieces in the mail letting me know i was going to be switched over and it just happened. when i pay my bill, i still go to pg and e and i don't see any difference between now and a year ago. >> sign up online, just have your account number ready and it takes about two minutes and there's nothing to install. no lines are getting connected to your home. all the power goes through the existed power grid. >> we haven't had any problems with the switch over to clean power. >> it's super easy to sign up. our book keeper signed up online, it took about 15 minutes. nothing changed but now we have cleaner energy. >> we see clean power sf as a key strategy to meet renewable energy goal, we have a goal of

50% renewable energy by 2020. currently we have enrolled about 86,000 customers across the city. about 20% of what we hope to serve in the future and in the next two years we'll offer service to all san francisco electricity customers. >> an easy way to align your environmental responsibilities and goals around climate change and it's so easy that it's hard to not want to do it and it doesn't really add anything to the bill. >> joining clean power sf is one of the easiest ways to fight climate change, receiving cleaner energy at low and stable rates, you're helping to support a not for profit that helps influence the energy grid and produce more production. >> i would encourage any business to seriously convert to the clean sf service. it's good for environment,

business and the community. >> you can sign up online our call and the great thing is, you'll have the peace of mind that you're doing your part in your household to help the environment. ♪ week. >> ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ the san francisco. the reporter: has many opportunities to get out and placing play a 4 thousand acres of play rec and park has a place win the high sincerely the place to remove user from the upper

street is my route. it has undergone transformation. the bicycle doreenway is my -- greenway is my favorite. it allows me to take in the sights and sounds of the corridor. and has a traffic calming effect. public works continues to collaborate with multiple agencies such as the planning department, health department to develop safer streets for all. it's a vision zero plan. as enthusiastic cyclists, improvements like these help me feel safer. >> if you keep riding to the end of the corridor, you'll find the gateway. with the rainy season here, the gardens manage storm water. landscape architects select species to handle the wet and

dry seasons making it a beautiful sight to see. >> one of san francisco's internationally known destinations, fishermen's wharf. it's one of my favorite landscape projects in the city, because it demonstrates how landscape design transforms for the better. this is a community driven process. local merchants and business owners. the district, planning and public works. in just the first phase of the fishermen wharf plan. the apparent improvements are jefferson street. it was reduced from four lanes to two and the sidewalk widened. making the corridor safer and more inviting for people who walk and bike. next time you're out here, you'll notice there is more.

paving material, topography, visual organization. this includes improved intersections, pedestrian scale lighting, bike parking, public seating and more. the resulting design celebrates the history of the wharf and san francisco's waterfront while creating a street scape for the walkable and bikeable city. the project is such a success that phase 2 is under way. come and check it out. >> the park is bound by 18 street on the north, 20th street on the south. the loehr street on the east and church street on the west. mission delores park is one of my favorite spots because it provides urban oasis in a densely packed neighborhood. many neighbors consider this their backyard. it's a place for children of all ages, those with pets, those who

want to play sports, hang with friends or lay in the sun. people from in and out of san francisco come together to enjoy this green space. san francisco public works helped shape the final design of this project. the re-imagined park is home to six tennis courts, a basketball court, a sports field, the helen diller playground. two off-leash dog areas, improved irrigation and public rest rooms and the lawns. if you haven't already, come experience this park for yourself. >> sunset boulevard starts at lake and ends at golden gate park. the boulevard is lined with tree canopies and is great for runners, walksers, cyclists and a scenic road for people who drive. public works takes great pride in caring for this area.

katy tang who represents the sunset district wanted to make the boulevard more inviting and installed outdoor exercise equipment. her goal, encourage the community to explore sunset boulevard and engage in healthy activities. as a resident of the outer sunset, the equipment allows me an easy opportunity to exercise outdoors and it really fun. as a runner, i have always appreciated san francisco's nature and happy to have the advantage of working out even while waiting at spotlights, using the outdoor fitness equipment. come try it out for yourself. >> hey, didn't see you there, don't mind me, i'm at my favorite spot, lilac alley. i think of a city that is deeply rooted in culture. it's neil gorsuch lilac alley is a two-block

stretch in the mission district, containing murals that show case the talent of local artists. whether it's something silly, iconic, political or cultural, the alley is a feast for your eyes and can be used for the perfect spot for a selfie. graffiti watch programs, community members can partner with public works to make sure the dynamic alley is in its best shape for neighbors and visitors. growing up here in san francisco, gave me the opportunity to explore many cool and unusual spots that only san francisco has to offer. one of my favorite spots is the palace of fine arts in the marina district. this jewel was constructed in 1915 as part of the panama pacific. it was designed by architect may

beck. after the exhibition, most of the buildings were torn down. but san francisco loved the magical pal ace so much, they decided to keep it. today, people come from all over the world to visit. with the rotunda and pond, it makes it an ideal location for weddings and events. i personally enjoy walking around the palace and taking in the beauty. public works led a project completed in 2009 that included seismic upgrades, restoration of walkways and others to preserve the history of the palace of fine arts. if you haven't already, come check it out. >> the slide has been a popular spot for generations of san franciscans. the park opened in 1979 and was developed by local artists, activists and employees. you can find the park tucked away on avenue in the heights.

it's cared for by a group of volunteers. what makes this place so special, side by side, 40-foot slides that can bring a smile to children and adults. as one of the kids who was lucky enough to have grown up in san francisco, it's been a very special place to me for a long time. i'm sure once you ride the slide, you'll know why. >> it's important to remember that these parks are maintained by neighbors. their gems of san francisco and we want thome keep shining -- them to keep shining. ment so >> we hope you enjoyed exploring city the with us. >> do you have a favorite public space? share it with us in the comments below. until next time, thank you for
